Subject: [PATCH v3] Avoid Catalogue Accesses In conversion_error_callback

Avoid accessing system catalogues inside conversion_error_callback
error context callback, because the the entire transaction might
have been broken at this point.

Since get_attname() and get_rel_name() could search the sys cache by
store the required information into ConversionLocation so that we can
just use that info in the error callback without sys cache lookup.
